Since I'm not sure of fitting some Unity stamps in with any daily challenges, I thought I'd better make a couple of "just because" cards in order to achieve my goal of using 4 previously un-inked stamps this month.
I had fun just experimenting with this one.
First I used a star stencil and some yellow Brusho.
Then I laid a hexagon stencil over and added some blue and red.
When it was dry, I didn't think the sentiment would stand out, so I added two coats of gesso in the area where I wanted to stamp. The first coat of gesso dissolved and mixed the Brushos, so it didn't turn out as I had expected. When it was dry, I stamped and embossed the sentiment. Tore the bottom edge, stitched the top...
To finish, I die-cut the stars and arrow from double-sided adhesive. The stars are finished with gilding flakes, and the arrow with glitter well burnished in.

Wow- a fabulous combination of techniques!! Love the use of the Brushos with this fun background and the verse is perfect for a "Just Because" card :-)
